[Shattering Glass...]

Hey Gang,

 

Has anyone tinkered with shattering glass? I'm guessing Newton would have to be used? Can it be directional shards such as this video clip?

 

Here is a video clip of what I mean.

[bouncing particles...]

I want to compliment you. That looks really good so far. Its nice to see professional grade / studio grade work.

 

Thanks, but I think it was luck on my part.lol

[bouncing particles...]

I swear, every time I get on this forum, it makes me truly realize it's not the software, but the artist behind the software! When you combine absolute talent with awesome software (A:M) you get these results.

 

Top notch work M.C. and Marcos!

[bouncing particles...]

Hey everyone,

 

Wondered if anyone knew how to create bouncing particles with collisions? For instance, I'm doing something with a ton of soccer balls and wanted a bunch of soccer balls to fall from the top of the screen, bounce off a logo in the middle and land on the floor. Make sense? I can't seem to figure it out. Not sure how to control them. I know this is a big one, but any input would be so appreciated.

 

Attached is screenshot of something I did with After Effects, but I know our beloved A:M could produce much better results with greater control... I just know it!

 

Also, I attached a video clip of what I mean. Notice how the balls bounce off the 3D text in the middle, then bounce and roll on the floor.

 

Best to all!

Shawn

DANG!!!!

[.obj imported model (Bicycle)]

Hi Everyone,

 

Here's a model I imported using the import tool. GREAT JOB AM! Originally it was the .obj format.

 

Enjoy!

[How to speed up rendering...]

Hey Hashers!

 

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere, so I apologize if that's the case.

 

Does anyone have a step by step on how to utilize multicore rendering? A way to render multiple frames at once? I can't seem to figure it out.

 

I work on both Macs and PCs. Would there be a different way for each or are they the same?

 

Thanks in advance!

[iPhone .obj imported using import wizard]

Hey Gang!

 

Here's an iPhone model. Originally it was .obj I used the new and improved import wizard... WOW! Our Hash team did one heck of a job improving the import tool.

 

Cheers to all!

[SpotsCenter look anyone...]

thanks guys!!!

[Impressive Render Time...]

A project I'm working on and was blown away with the render time. Original size 853x480 - 15 seconds - render time= 5 hours. VERY IMPRESSIVE A:M!!!

[SpotsCenter look anyone...]

Hey Hashers!

 

Been a while since I've contributed anything. Here is a project with models and such. Nothing major, but kinda cool with the SportsCenter look. Have fun and show me some renders/stills! Would love to see what my fellow Hashers are doing!

 

Cheers to you all!

Hey dude... i just have to say that my son (15yo) is really into 3D and is far from your talents. You have a very promising future ahead of you young man. Keep going!

[AO/FakeAO with reflections...]

Thanks guys! I will be doing my homework on this stuff. Thanks again!

[AO/FakeAO with reflections...]

Hi All,

 

Anyone know if it's possible to use AO or Fake AO and maintain nice reflections like this video clip?

 

Thanks in advance!

[planet glow effect?]

hey gang! my guess is that planet glow would give a texture such as this?

[Henry the Green Engine]

stian... honestly, i have friends that use only maya and max and your work completely rivals and surpasses theirs! you are truly amazing! care to share any tricks as to how you get such clean renders and smoke tricks?lol kudos bro!

[glow and reflection]

i use a cheap fix... i render out just the group (make a separate model and render with alfa) and take the reflection only into after effects (composite on top layer) and then add the glow. yeah, it's a cheap fix, but i tend to get good results. would love it if am could do it all, but for now ae seems to fix the problem.

[more new stuff...]

Fantastic! I like the lights that move...the ones that just sit there need a little motion as well. Great graphic!

 

i agree. lights need to move. now i just need to figure where to move them.lol thanks mr. c!

[more new stuff...]

hi hashers...

 

here's something i have been working on for the world cup bid. i think the sound fx really amp the spot, but maybe not.lol let me know what you think. i am thinking too many lights?

 

cheers to my fellow hashers!!!

OUTSTANDING!!!

slick man... very slick!

[New work I've been crying over...]

Thank you all very kindly for the nice words. It means a great deal to me to hear from my fellow Hashers. Sadly... no... it wasn't all created in AM. I dream of the day where I gain the skills to do so. I used AE for the fire, flames and smoke.

[New work I've been crying over...]

Hey Hashers!

 

Been a little while since I last posted, so I wanted to throw some recent projects up. None of them are finished, but I think they're getting close. Love feedback from my fellow Hashers, so please comment. I did everything except the laptop. Can someone please tell me who modeled the laptop? I would like to reciprocate to this kind stranger.

 

Cheers to you all and happy Hashing!

Shawn
